Dear friends!:))

Thought I´d start the new year
with a brand new love song for
my sweetheart ! There is not
much falsetto in this but I can
inform you that I have recovered
almost completely from my earlier
problems with the voice and sure
hope I would be allowed to go on
at least on this level for many
years to come ! This happens to
be my 98 th tune posted on the PG
site so soon we´ll be celebrating
the hundreth but not really yet !
Happy New Year to all of you !

Here are the links:

Here are the lyrics:

THAT´S WHY I LOVE YOU SO (WORDS & MUSIC BY NORMAN WIBE)

You know , I wonder if there´s anyone just like you
and should there be, I really don´t care
´cause it´s you and noone else who´ll be me oh so true
anyway, anytime, anyhow, anywhere

That´s why I´ll always love you so
that´s why we´re always on the go

And it´s hard for me when you´re not here beside me
´cause you and only you can make me whole , for all to see
and I love you

It´s been like this from the moment that we met, dear
you´ve been there, always on my mind
it is just like I was floatin´round in mid-air
carried by your love so sweet and kind

That´s why I´ll always love you so
that´s why we´re always on the go

How I miss you darlin´when you´re not around here
how can I just survive without your deepest love to share
our moments are there to spare

You only need to leave me for the shortest time
when I´m alone I´ll just go blue
and that is what I´ll do
Why do I feel the way I do when you´re not here to chime
I´m sure you really miss me too, miss me too

I wonder if there´s anyone just like you
should there be, I really don´t care
´cause it´s you and noone else who´ll be me so true
anyway, anytime, anyhow, anywhere

That´s why I´ll always love you so
that´s why we´re always on the go

And it´s hard for me when you´re not here beside me
´cause you and only you can make me whole, for all to see
and I love you darlin´, yes I,ll do
and I love you darlin´, yes I´ll do !

This is a really nice, well written, heartfelt love song. I always enjoy your submissions and glad your voice is getting back to the point you can submit songs again. 100 posts is impressive and you're so close. I'm looking forward to celebrating your achievement with you.

I enjoyed this a lot but did feel a bit of a disconnect between the music and vocals on this song and thinking there may be a bit too much reverb on your great voice. It's good either way, I personally think there's not much production needed for your vocals.

Wow! near 100? That is amazing. Excluding collabs I think we're at 55 or so. Wish we were as prolific. And were I a prolific writer I'd crank out a love song everyday for my bride smile

You are the master of the heartfelt love song and we're sure that being in love helps!

A great 98th entry into the catalog!

Dani,
Good warm feelings and romance come through in many of your songs and this, even with less of your trademark falsetto, has that unmistakably Dani sound.
Very enjoyable music, roll on the big 100!

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
